Chapter 215 (2/2)

”Don't the prime minister understand that as the emperor, I should put the people first in everything?” the emperor retorted.

”Put the people in front of you in the eyes of the emperor. As a minister, you should consider everything for the emperor.” Gu Zetian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued to insist on seeing.

Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin looked at each other and didn't understand what Gu Zetian meant?

Why close the gate properly? Don't want them to go back to the North moon country? Still

No, that's not his idea.

Yan Xiaoxi suddenly found Gu Zetian's intention in his mind. He wanted to prevent Nangong Lin from mobilizing troops to help Beiyue state. The city government is really deep and prepare for a rainy day.

Obviously, he must have arranged the assassin.

”Prime minister, this is to prevent the king from returning to the south water country?” Nangong Lin asked coldly.

Gu Zetian was surprised and quickly comforted: ”Lord Lin misunderstood, and Wei Chen didn't mean to.”

”What does the prime minister mean by insisting on closing the city gate? Who doesn't know that the imperial concubine and the prince are going back tomorrow?” Yan Xiaoxi followed.

”Micro minister is for the sake of the emperor's safety.” Gu Zetian glared at Yan Xiaoxi angrily and felt that their men had no room for her to intervene.

Hearing this, the emperor said with cooperation: ”the prime minister is considering for me. I am very moved. The loyal minister of the prime minister is the clothes of the North moon country. I will not close the gate.”

”I will follow the emperor's will.” this time, Gu Zetian was surprisingly easy to compromise.

The emperor looked at Gu Zetian in surprise and continued: ”I understand the prime minister's intentions. The prince has sent someone to catch the assassin. The palace is heavily guarded. He must not escape.”

”The emperor is wise,” Gu Zetian said with an arched fist.

”Ministers, don't worry. Under my governance, the country of Beiyue is peaceful and the people are safe. Don't worry. Go back to the house and have a rest.”

”Yes.” the ministers said in unison and dispersed.

”I'm leaving.” Gu Zetian looked at Nangong Lin thoughtfully and led the people away.

Yan Xiaoxi thought there was something strange about it. If the assassin really wanted to kill the emperor and the queen, how could he scare the snake at the beginning and shout to take his life, giving the emperor a chance to be vigilant?

”Meng'er, Xiao Lin and I can send the queen back to the palace to have a rest.” Yan Xiaoxi doesn't want Bei Mengxi to walk around before the assassin is caught. What if he encounters danger when he comes back.

”Good.” beimengxi agreed.

”Lao Xier.” the queen was always very polite to Yan Xiaoxi. After all, she was a nominal mother and daughter, and her feelings needed to be cultivated.

”Empress mother, don't be polite to me.” Yan Xiaoxi wanted to try to treat the queen as her mother's filial piety. The Queen's alienation made her give up her mind.

Beimengxi returns to the Princess Palace under the escort of the bodyguard. Yan Xiaoxi holds the queen to her palace. Returning her safely, he returns to the room to rest with nangonglin. The rest has nothing to do with them.

The assassin is the worry of beiboxi and the emperor. They will leave here at dawn.

The next day, Yan Xiaoxi gets up and hears the news. The assassin last night was caught by Bei Baixi and killed himself. Yan Xiaoxi wants to say goodbye to Bei Mengxi. Seeing that she hasn't got up, she doesn't want to disturb her rest. She arranges her things and comes to the imperial study again with Nangong Lin.

After the communication, they went in and found that beiboxi was also inside. He and the emperor looked dignified. It seemed that something bad had happened.
